Growing up, we had a few macramé style pieces in our home. Mostly plant holders that were fairly tacky in my opinion. The rope used was super rough & the colors were not so nice.... just a bit much. I really do love the macramé is back, but with a bit more of a modern flare to it. I started to learn for myself how to make these pieces, because well... I'm cheap & didn't want to pay $200.00 for a macramé wall hanging.
Here is the process & finished product of my first piece:
When telling my husband that I was going to teach myself how to make these, he wasn't really a fan of the idea. He actually asked if I could just make a blanket instead! In the end though, he proudly hung it up for me in our kitchen. So, I think he's warming up to the idea of some "trendy" artwork in our home.
Anyone else out there do macramé? Do you hate it? Love it?
